Pros

As this pandemic ravages our public health and economy the world is relying on broadband networks to continue working and connecting. At Calix EVERYONE feels the satisfaction of being part of a company that has provided the infrastructure that allows millions of homes/businesses/educational-institutions to receive high speed broadband internet. The mission at Calix is clear and the long term prospects for the company are improving. Calix adopted a work-from-home, flexible culture before it was a business necessity brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Engineering teams are lean, but well funded and focused. Visionary executive management that is transforming the company from a classic 'telecom purple box seller' to a systems/software company.

Cons

Poor stock performance over the past ten years since IPO.

Calix has an excellent company culture where employees genuinely support one another. The collaboration across departments is one of its biggest strengths, making it easy to work together toward common goals. The company also offers a great work-life balance and promotes a flexible, respectful work environment that allows employees to be productive while maintaining their personal lives.

Cons

Compensation could be more competitive, especially for non-Sales roles, as responsibilities grow. Advancement opportunities can also be limited for certain departments, making it challenging for employees looking for long-term career progression within the company.
